Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef short ribs, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup napa cabbage, shredded
- 1/2 cup carrot, julienned
Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and brown sugar to create a marinade for the beef. Add the sliced short ribs and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 2: While the beef is marinating, prepare the quick kimchi by mixing the shredded napa cabbage and julienned carrots in a separate bowl. Toss them with a pinch of salt and let sit for about 10 minutes to soften.
- Step 3: Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef short ribs in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through.
- Step 4: Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
- Step 5: Assemble the tacos by placing some grilled beef on each tortilla and topping with the quick kimchi. Serve immediately and enjoy your Korean BBQ tacos!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover tacos and quick kimchi separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat the beef, gently warm it in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist, while tortillas can be quickly heated in a dry pan for about 15 seconds on each side.
- Serve these Korean BBQ tacos with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of flavor that complements the savory beef and tangy kimchi beautifully.
- For best results, allow the beef to marinate for longer than 30 minutes if possible, as this will enhance its flavor and tenderness—consider marinating it overnight for a delicious outcome!
